Transition Program

The West Central Regional Juvenile Center (WCRJC) provides a comprehensive Transition Services Program. This program was established to provide youth who have been at the juvenile center for 30 days or longer with resources and/or training. This helps them achieve social adjustment, employment, and educational success once they leave the WCRJC.

After Release
